Dear All I wrote to the SuSE list English list last week to ask about the possibility of plugging my Ericsson T18S mobile phone into my Compaq 1592DT notebook which uses SuSE 7.0. The hardware might not be too good the software is superb. The person who wrote back explained that I could use Irda to do what I wanted to do. This was something of a surprise. I'd like to plug my phone into COM1 on the back of my notebook. The explanation I've had is that I can configure Irda to send data along the cable that I have that will allow my T18S to be plugged into the notebook. I can't use infra red with my phone unless I buy an extra modem which costs about $150 U.S. I don't want to throw the money away. Plugging the phone into COM1 to send mail and view web pages while I'm travelling seems to be the most sensible thing to do. Looked in the Irda howto. It doesn't explain that I can do this kind of thing. If it is possible to do this can someone give me a few clues about how to set Irda up so that it sends data to COM1. One of the things I'm not sure about is how to tell the Irda system to connect to my ISP. I can see that the Irda system is working. Nothing wrong with it. The final solution to this is to wait until April when the contract runs out on the phone and throw it away. Get a new phone from the local dealer.
